Children's umbrellas for boys and girls

When there is bad weather outside the window, the wind is blowing and it is pouring rain, many mothers prefer not to take their children out for a walk, having a negative attitude to such a pastime, even if they understand how happy it is for a child to plop through puddles. But sometimes it happens that going out in the rain is not just a desire for your beloved child to have fun, but an urgent need. In this case, you need to make sure that the baby is reliably protected. To do this, my mother will need a raincoat, rubber boots and, of course, a children's umbrella.

Like an adult accessory, a baby can also fold up in different ways. The umbrella can be of an automatic type, with just one press of a button, so that a beautiful and reliable “canopy” opens over your head. When you click on another button, it also closes easily. The type of semiautomatic opens on the same principle, but you need to close it with your hands. Mechanical folds and unfolds only by hand.

To help kids on automatic models, arrows are drawn to indicate what needs to be done and where. Children easily master this science, but to work with a mechanical umbrella, the child will have to tinker. Therefore, parents should not buy the latter option too little kids, otherwise they will be nervous and upset.

At the tips of the spokes there is always plastic caps, designed in the form of balls or cylinders, this also applies to the tip-peaks at the crown of the product. In the children's umbrella, it will never be sharp. This is the main point of security: the child will not be able to hurt himself and other children.

Children's umbrellas are light, because kids find it difficult to hold heavy objects for a long time.

The material from which the dome of the accessory is made does not differ from the material for adult umbrellas. In modern production they use different fabrics - this is polyester, and satin, and silk, and a new type of pongee fabric. Often the base of the dome is impregnated with special solutions that increase water resistance and continue the life of the product. The most popular Teflon impregnation, thanks to her water droplets are not absorbed by the surface of the umbrella, and roll off the dome, while the fabric remains dry.

The design and style of the assortment of children's “rain helpers” is very large due to the wide color palette and the variety of patterns printed on their dome. Children's umbrellas let out monophonic or multi-colored, bright or with favorite cartoon characters, from which the baby will be in the seventh heaven with happiness!

Regarding the shape of the accessory for kids, then the manufacturers have tried. There are round models, square and other original models. But it is impossible to choose a too-wide umbrella for a child: its size makes it difficult for a parent to walk next to the baby, and the water flowing from its edges will certainly fall on an adult's feet.Domed model - ideal for both mother and her child. In some umbrellas, a viewing window is provided so that the baby can see everything around, and not just what is happening under his feet.

In recent years, parents have become more responsible in protecting their children, and bad weather conditions are no exception. They paid special attention to products for children and manufacturers. Presenting a variety of umbrella models to choose from caring parents. Among them are small and medium-sized models, mechanical, automatic, cane umbrellas, folding, from the sun.

The range of modern children's umbrellas never ceases to amaze consumers. Now you can pick up an attribute from the rain for the child for every taste and color. Umbrellas with cartoon characters are very popular with children. As a rule, girls choose models with painted Disney princesses: Rapunzel, Elsa, Sophia the Beautiful, Little Mermaid, Winx fairies, as well as with the characters of the very popular cartoon "Masha and the Bear."

Boys, in turn, are more attracted to umbrellas with wheelbarrows, dinosaurs, Winnie the Pooh, courageous dogs from the series Paw Patrol, Mickey Mouse, evil birds, etc.

Buy an umbrella can be literally at every turn. These products are sold in specialized boutiques and supermarkets, at market points and even in underground passages. However, for a child to buy the first available and liked at the price of an umbrella is not worth it. It is necessary to look for a model that was originally created for children, and is designed for the specific conditions of its operation. Only in this case, the umbrella will be suitable for the beloved child. He will be strong (how clumsy babies are 2-5 years old, many parents know), safe, and, of course, bright. And considering all these moments before the purchase, the subsequent walks in the rain will be a joyful game for the little one and his parents!

First of all, the children's umbrella should be selected in size. No need to buy for growth, the child will be hard to cope with it in windy weather. It is necessary to lean the cane to the body of the baby, if its border is 5 cm below the waist - this is an ideal option. The open dome should cover the shoulders, but, of course, within the limits of common sense. Too large dome is unacceptable, since it will be inconvenient for a small owner to carry such an umbrella, and even for parents walking nearby it is difficult to control a baby.

To find the perfect model, an umbrella must satisfy a list of the following characteristics:

One of the important rules when choosing a children's umbrella: the mechanism should be simple. Therefore, the folding model is not recommended to buy. There is a high probability that the child will not understand with such an umbrella (how to open and close the product) or break it with uncertain movements.

A children's umbrella should not be too big: the younger the child, the smaller his umbrella. Although an overly shallow umbrella does not adequately protect against rain. Therefore it is better to buy a small but wide umbrella.Now at the peak of popularity are transparent and deep arched umbrellas. Such a product will allow the child to see everything around him well, and parents walking next to him will be comfortably near the child.

In this case it is necessary to take into account two points. First, it is the umbrella frame. Today, the most common material for the spokes is aluminum, but steel is better for children's umbrellas. It is heavier, nevertheless, stronger (especially if it is treated with titanium coating - however, the product with such impregnation is more expensive), therefore it confidently opposes wind attempts to turn the dome of the umbrella inside out.

Secondly - the material of the dome. Nylon is used by manufacturers more often. It is inexpensive, unpretentious, although apparently not very effective. Polyester treated with silk or velvet looks more interesting, but it is easy to scratch it. Therefore, cotton is often added to polyester. Then the dome becomes stronger, prettier, but more expensive.

Umbrella safety should be assessed in the complex. Parents need to make sure that the edges of all the spokes have “plugs” - small plastic caps. Do not buy an umbrella with a pointed tip-peak - you can also hurt or injure others. The umbrella mechanism should work well and be free from defects. Adults should make sure that there is no risk for the child to pinch the fingers.

Appearance is a matter of individual preferences. The children's umbrella should be liked by its little owner, because if the child does not appreciate the parents' purchase, most likely, he will hardly walk with her in the rain. Therefore, choose an umbrella should be based on the taste and wishes of the baby. As a rule, children like bright, unusual models, for example, those that have ears, horns, lace.

And in order not to be mistaken with the acquisition, moms and dads should offer the child to participate in the selection. Choosing 2-3 models, adults need to show their future owner - let him decide what he likes most.

Having chosen an umbrella, it is not a waste to check a specific instance. Whether the mechanism is stuck, whether there are no damages on the fabric, whether it sags when the dome is fully opened and how well it attaches to the spokes.

As a rule, if there is an umbrella, there must be rubber boots. It is not uncommon to see a child walking with an umbrella in his hands and in a raincoat. This is quite adequate blowing for rainy weather in combination with appropriate footwear. A bright children's umbrella in bad weather will always cheer up, and never spoil the image of a little man.

Funny children's umbrellas are produced by many domestic and foreign firms. American brand is very popular and trusted by parents. "Alex". The peculiarity of the products lies in the fact that boys and girls can paint their protector from the rain at their discretion. The kit includes: instruction manual, the umbrella itself, waterproof felt-tip pens and various stencils.

Fans of Disney cartoons will certainly appreciate children's umbrellas TM "Perletti" (Italy). Products of this brand are seriously tested, therefore, absolutely safe for young fidgets.

A children's umbrella is not always an attribute for rainy weather. Often, this accessory is used as protection from the scorching sun, so it cannot be said that the children's umbrella can be used exclusively in the fall or spring.

A child with an umbrella and a summer dress will also look stylish, as in bright rubber boots, a raincoat to match the shoes and an original umbrella in little hands.

If it rains outside the window, the kid, dressed in a waterproof and wind-proof jacket, jumpsuit or pants will look very stylish and beautiful, especially with a bright umbrella over his head.
